"I visited Maison Boulud at The Ritz-Carlton, Montreal for a special holiday edition of Eater Scenes, and the hotel's 2012 re-emergence after a $200 million facelift felt like the return of a crown jewel to the Golden Square Mile; the makeover restored some of the area's old strut and left the city's bygone, moneyed anglophone uptown—from Ravenscrag to the Beaver Club—feeling newly burnished and invigorated, and, as then-mayor Gérald Tremblay said at the time, the reopening "makes a notable contribution to what makes our city different." - Eater Staff
